Generally babies prefer sleeping on tummy and are more comfortable that way. See to it that their nose is not blocked by Bedsheets or Lenin. This can be allowed when they are awake or if they are able to turn over , which may not happen at 3 months of age OR someone should be watching them especially their breathing. Don't leave them in this position all through the night (just because they are calm), and you sleep in a different room. It can be dangerous.
